wero nggresslvo and fought every ndvunce,
but tho general sentiment seemed to be
ngalnst them and prices steadily moved up
ward. Minneapolis wired that tho cash de
mand there took nil tho wheat oft tho mar
ket quickly. Other outside markets nlso
wero strong. May, which' opened o lower

May, which opened unchanged, sagged U
early In tho session, advanced strongly to
7c on prollt-tnklng and then closed rather
llrtn, 'i'd'Uo up at VilitJCc. Hecelpts wero
i2tl cars.
Oats depended largely on the local talent
lor meir ninraoi. iiroserB reported ruuy
as much doing In July ns In May options.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2. Tho llrst day of
trnding for tho new year on tho Stock cx
chnngo was signalized by n Jump in tho
volume of transactions to upward of l,(M,
00 shares. Tho coalers and the Pacifies
were leaders In tho market, but the denh
ings wero broadly distributed anil the
strength was very fairly disseminated
through the treneral list. The Industrial
stocks worn Inconspicuous, except for n few
vi mo mosi imporinnt issues, sucn as
United States Steel, Sugar and Amalga
mated Copper and Peoplo'H Oas. Amalga
mated Copper had n period of weakness
during tho early part of tho day and Sugar
showed occasional relapses, Thero was
vtry heavy realizing In tho course of tho
day, but tho offerings wero well taken nnd
nt a cost of only fraction In tho prices.
Tho' way In which ono stock or group of
stocks anil then another wns brought for
ward Into, tho ndvanco was characteristic
of tho methods of professional operators
of largo caliber, and as each point of
strength developed the preceding stocks
wero sold to realize. In this way tho equi
poise was maintained nnd speculative hold
ings wero transferred from ono quarter to
another, permeating tho wholo market.
Tho demand was apparently based on gen
eral considerations of a good prospect of
continued prosperity of tho country for tho
now year and the hope of nn early relaxa
tion In tho money markets. Call money
wns not so strong as on Monday and Tues
day, but the money market continued stiff
and tho bulk of tho qperntions was ap
parently by those not dependent for re
sources on tho call loan market. The in
spired Intimations of tho completion of tho
retirement at Northern Pacific preferred
nnd of tho rapid progress of exchange Into
tho Northern Securities company's stock
had a notable effect In relieving tho de
pression which, has been cnused by tho
fears that that project would bo obstructed
beforo Its successful consummation. Tho
payment for redemption of Northern Pa
cific preferred was believed to bo a factor
In relieving tho money market. Tho pros
pect of a further effect from tho lnrgo Jan
uary disbursements was an additional mo
tlvo In tho speculation. With tho Northern
Puclflc project out of the wny It Is be
lieved that other projects for combinations
will bo pushed forward. It Is confidently
believed that tho anthracite coalers aro
destined for such a combination. Tho spec
ulation In this group nnd tho Pnclllcs today
may bo attributed to these causes. Tho
buying of Baltimore & Ohio was by tho
same brokers conspicuous In tho operations
in tho nuthrnclto group. It was asserted
that tho Pocahontas Coal company had
arranged for royalties on much of its coal
land from companies controlled by the
United States Steel corporation, which
helped tho strength in Norfolk & Western
and also In United States Steel. Tho pre
diction by tho recognized authority in tho
trado that tho coming year will bo ono of
tho banner years In the steel industry nnd
rumors of unimpaired earnings for De
cember also helped tho United States Steel
stocks. Humors wero current of a coming
consolidation of electrical manufacturing
companies. Amalgamated Copper was
helped Ly tho firmness of the raw copper
market In London nnd by rumors that a
powerful syhdlcato nad been formed to
hold tho company's accumulated stacks of
copper. Tho foreign money markets
promptly responded to the turn of the year
and were all easier, with a cheering ottect
on Btock markets. Tho closing horo wns
actlvo and ensy on realizing.
Tho railroad bond market was active and
broad, and thero was a good absorption
of high grado bonds. Total sales, par value.
$1,680,000. United Stntcs refunding 2s and
tho old 4s declined 4 and tho 6s advanced
14 per cent on tho last call.

CATTLE Thero was n fairly liberal run
of cattlo at tho yards today, but still there
were none too many to met tho demand of
local packers. All tho buyers wero out
early and as a result an nctlvo and steady
to strong market was experienced for all
kinds of cattlo showing quality.
A good proportion of tho receipts this
morning consisted of cornfed steers, but
tho quality of tho offerings was not very
choice. Packers, however, took hold In
good shape nnd paid steady to strong
prices for anything at all desirable. Sellers
as a rulo were satisfied with the prices of
fered, so that trade was active and the
bulk of the cattle changed hands at an
early hour.
The demand for cows and heifers wus
also fully equal to the supply, ns was
shown by the fact that the market was
active and steady to strong prices wero
paid. Tho demand did not seem to be lim
ited to the choicer grades, as canners nnd
the medium grndes nlso sold freely at very
satisfactory prices
Thero was very llitlo chango noticeable
todny In tho prices paid for bulls, veal
calves nnd stngs. Packers seemed to want
all that were offered and paid fully steady
prices for them.
Stockers and feeders of desirable quality
were very scarce this morning nnd as
speculators wero all looking for them n
few sellers succeeded In getting a llttlo
more for what they had than tho same
kind scld for the first of tho week. Thero
was not much change, howover, In tho
prices paid for the commoner grndes and
common stockers In particular were neg
lected. Representative ales:

IIOOS The fresh receipts of hogs wero
not very heavy this morning, but there
were several loads carried over from yes
terday, so thero wero close to 100 cars on
sale. Other markets wero quoted lower
nnd Us a result packers, started out here to
get their supplies fur less money than
they did yesterday. The general mnrkot
could safely be quoted n nickel lower than
yesterday Light hogs wero neglected, tho
snino as usual, nnd sold unevenly lower,
tho same as Is generally tho case. The
better weight hogs sold mostly from $6.33
to J6.63, medium weights from $6.20 to $6.33
and tho light loads from $6.20 down. It was
not a very active market, but s,tlll the hogs
kept chnnglng hands and the bulk was
disposed of In fairly good season, Hcpre-

Many arguments have been put forth ns
to tho real cause of tho Immense wealth
of John D. Rockefeller nnd other great oil
magnates. It Is easy to traco tho founda
tion of their, great wealth. Not many years
ugo oil wus discovered In tho state of Penn
uylvanla, the How became so great that It
was Imposslblo to take caro ot tho output,
as tho markctablo facilities wero not great
enough, consequently (hu prlco of stock In
tho different enterprises remained at a
normal figure. But fnr-slghted men llko
Rockefeller, Payne and others bought up
ns much stock as they could ut tlieno low
figures, und when American Ingenuity sup
plied the marketable facilities the stock
shot skyward, laying thu foundation for
tho fnbulous wealth of these multimillion
aires. Tho Bume. exact conditions nro now
in evidence In tho Beaumont, Texns and
California oil fields, und there Is no doubt
In tho world but thut history will repeut
Itself. Possibly the most tuvorablo com
pany now organized und the ono that will
have the brightest future Ih the North
